**THIS IS THE FINAL ARTIST FOR THIS EXHIBIT. THANKS FOR TUNING INTO <STABLETALK> WHERE WE REVEALED A NEW ARTIST AND LOCATION EVERY DAY THIS WEEK!**
By Adriana Kuiper
After a mysterious storm a tornado shelter sits in a tree, landing in an unknown forest far from the plains.
Biography
Adriana Kuiper is an installation artist who lives and works in Sackville, New Brunswick. Her recent work explores versions of modified, hidden architectural structures meant to suggest safety from extreme forces, natural and otherwise. Her work investigates provisionally built structures found in the local landscape, and she often adapts and manipulates existing instructions for “Do-It-Yourself” shelters and small buildings. Outdoor public installations of her work have been show recently at Nuit Blanche in Toronto, and at Dalhousie University in Halifax. Kuiper’s work has been shown across Canada in cities such as Kitchener, Oakville, Vancouver and Calgary, and has been exhibited internationally in Oslo, Norway.

**THIS IS THE THIRD OF FOUR ARTISTS TO BE REVEALED THIS WEEK. STAY TUNED INTO <STABLETALK> FOR A NEW ARTIST AND LOCATION EVERY DAY!**
By Susy Oliveira
My work intends to examine our preoccupation with replacing nature with fabricated versions of it as well as delving into ideas of digital and technological reproduction. By definition, the garden; complete with its natural components; is a construction made for our own pleasure and consumption. This piece endeavors to present some trust and hope in nature despite our constant interventions.
Biography
Susy Oliveira is an artist living in Toronto. She received an MFA from the University of Waterloo in 2006 and is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design. Her work is represented by Peak Gallery in Toronto.

David Brisbin, CFC Media Lab Alumnus and Production Designer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, sheds light onto the influence fans can have on Production Design of a film franchise in yesterday’s article posted on jawbone.tv.
New Media savants have also long kept an eye on the mash-ups, machinimas, lego-film knock-offs, blog sites and other forms of FAN-MADE MEDIA in response to beloved movies — that’s old news too. What I am arguing here is that on New Moon (and presumably other shows shot in 2009) these two strands converged on the back of the current wave of tech tools in the hands of fans. The result is something new: INSTANT FAN-MADE MEDIA.

**THIS IS THE SECOND OF FOUR ARTISTS TO BE REVEALED THIS WEEK. STAY TUNED INTO <STABLETALK> FOR A NEW ARTIST AND LOCATION EVERY DAY!**
By Tazeen Qayyum
I work in the style of miniature painting of the South Asian tradition to explore compelling contemporary issues. My work comments on aggressive global politics and the subsequent suppression of difference. A dead cockroach motif is repeated in my work to simultaneously attract and repulse; commenting on human rights violations and fatalities as a result of globalization and war. The work borrows the language of entomology to explore how categories and classifications used in archiving practices, parallel the agendas of political propaganda. Preserved and presented in a steel, Armour-like, display box, the insect images are spread open for inspection/ investigation. The title of the work, ironically, is derived from universal pesticide warnings, to evoke dehumanizing ideas. When people are killed like insects around the world, we question our own insensitivity and the diminishing value of human life.
Biography
Tazeen Qayyum (Canada/Pakistan) is a contemporary miniature painter who graduated from the National College of Arts Lahore, Pakistan in 1996. She has had three solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous International group exhibitions some of which include ‘Urban Myths & Modern Fables’, University of Sydney, Australia and University of Toronto, Canada, ‘A Thousand and One Days: The Art of Pakistani Women Miniaturists’ at the Academy of Art, Honolulu, Hawaii, ‘JAALA Exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, Japan, ‘Negotiating Borders’ Miniature Paintings at Katmandu, Nepal and ‘Homecoming’, at the National Gallery of Pakistan. Her work was included in the 10th Asian Biennale, Dhaka, Bangladesh and 2nd Painting Biennale, Tehran, Iran. Her works are part of many public and private collections and has received several critical reviews including a review in The New York Times in 2009.

**THIS IS THE FIRST OF FOUR ARTISTS TO BE REVEALED THIS WEEK. STAY TUNED INTO <STABLETALK> FOR A NEW ARTIST AND LOCATION EVERY DAY!**
By Jason Van Horne
The year is 2210. It has been several hundred years since humans have inhabited the City of Vancouver. This is a glimpse at one of the city’s landmark structures, the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library. Although it has become overgrown with vegetation and much of it has crumbled, it still stands. While this may seem unnerving to some it is also very likely comforting to those who may, despite being human, secretly wish mother nature to prevail in the end.
Biography
Jason has worked within a range of mediums that include drawing and painting, sculpture installation, community arts and art production for independent films and theatre. Post-apocalyptic scenarios in film and fiction have been of great influence on his work as he is primarily focused on the depiction of cities, real or fictionalized, in some state of ruin and decay. He graduated from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 2002 from the Sculpture/Installation Department.
